to the jury box men who had formed an
opinion as to the prisioners' guilt which
could not be removed, except by strong evil

square pedestal. bearing the simplest in
scription. Mr.. St. Gaudens had tried to
make Mr.. Lincoln's plainness tell, being
perfectly aware that Lincoln. the orator,
gained in the long run rather than lost be-
cause of his unshapeliness and size. Mr.. st.
Gaudens has chosen the m oment when he
is standing before an audience waiting for

his thoughts for speech. He has risen from

front. and the inner chair back carriers

The Trouble Among the knights OF

The sessions OF the Knights OF Labor at

leaks out each day to give the public cur
rent information OF the proceedings.
There was quite stormy time for two
days. in the effort to get rid OF Barry and
Baily of the governing hoard, who were
obnoxious to Powderly and the majority.
Mr.. Bailey was very much excited. He
said that il the resolutions providing for q
reduction of the executive board was pass.
ed he and his friends would leave the hall.
A delegate suggested that it would be q
good thing for the order il they carried out
their threat. -
There was no attempt to pass the reso-
luton providing for the reduction OF the
boards membership. Az substitute a
aPowderly man made a motion calling for
vote was taken upon this question, and it
was carried by q vote OF 116
to 62. Mr.. Powderly was prompt ia
resigning. In fact he did not
wait for the vote to be taken, but quickly
rendered his resignation. It was not ac-
cepted, there being bnt q very few votes in
favor of 50 doing. Messrs. Hayes. Carlton
and Mcclure in turn resigned, but their
designations were not accepted. There was

was waiting to see what Messrs Barry and
Bailey would do. They didn't resign,
and said they proposed to remin in for an

How a Dog Fired Il Cannon.

Saturday at about . Il. m. the entire
garrison at Fort Keogh turned out at the
alarm Of The big gun. which is only used
in times of fire. Immediately after the
a|arm Of the big gun, bang, bang went
the muskets of the sentries, and all was
confusion. CONSERVATION and alarm until
the case was explained. The big gun
is always kept in readiness, loaded and
primeh, but the lanyard is usually coiled
M on the breech of the gun. On this
particular morning the wind happened
to be blowing pretty hard and disloged
the lanyard, which was waited about by
the breeze. A couple of garrison dogs
were playing in that neighborhood, and
in the exuberance OF his spirit INT little
dog spied the string, seized it with his
teeth and pulled on it br,skly, discharg-
ing the gun. There is one playful canine
at that post not likely to fool with a gun
for some time. The explosion caused
him to stick his tail between his legs and
fly, y%elping at every iump.-Yellowstone

HOW 1T MAY COME.
Predictions as TO the Entrance OF the
Chicago & Northwestern
Railroad.

A Chicago man. interviewed by the
bllte Miner, Says the Chicago 4 North
western railroad is surely heading for
Montana and will enter the Territory
before long. He says it is the intention
OF that company to extend the Fort
Pierre branch into and through this
Territory. On what he bases his infor.
nation is not known, but he sketched
the route likely to be adopted by that
road as follows:
1t will enter Montana near %Stoneville,
in the southeast corner, thence north
ward to Fort Custer, where it will cross
the Big Horn, and it will connect there
with its Fort Fetterman and Buffalo
branch. 1t will probably cross the yell
lowstone about the mouth of Razor creek
and follow up that creek in crossing to
the Musselshell, which it will traverse
to its head, either by the North Fork
and through White Sulphur Springs to
Townsend, or by the South Fork and
down Sixteen Mile creek to Toston, with
a loop taking in White Sulphur Springs
and Castle Mountain district. They will
get across TO Butte from Townsend or
Toston, and they claim that they will
shorten the distance from Butte to Chica-
20 by about $50 miles. This line will
not stop at Bate, but will push upto the
Big Hole and Pioneer Creek to Big Hole
Pass, connecting with the Oregon Pacific
in Idaho. There is no doubt about the
feasibility of this line, and you will see
that when it is built the Chicago & North
western will really have two transcon-
tinental lines, the Fremont. Elkhorn &
Missouri Valley, which is cutting across
through Wyoming, and the Northern
extension across Montana, converting
somewhere about Boise City. These
lines, with their connecting branches
running north and south, will gridiron
the whole country from the Black Hills
to Boise, taking in eveey important min.
ing region between these points. and
several oil basins in Wyoming. They
will also corral a large share of the range
stock shipments, and will compete with
the Manitoba for the North Montana
traffic, with a shorter line to Chicago, bv
running a branch from the Musselshell
to Benton or thereabout-.
